The Adventure Zone: Dadlands Published on November 28Th, 2019 Listen on Themcelroy.Family The Adventure Zone: Dadlands Published on November 28th, 2019 Listen on TheMcElroy.family [theme music plays] Griffin: There‘s—we‘ve multiplied, via mitosis. Audience: [laughs] Justin: Uh, hi. You know us, so let‘s not waste any time with that. Uh, I want to issue a very, uhh… special welcome to our guest game mom for this evening. He is much more competent than any of us, so we have invited him to help guide us along. Appropriately enough, he is this evening‘s game mom. He‘s a gentlemen from College Humor‘s Dimension 20. It‘s Brennan Lee Mulligan. Please give a huge— Audience: [cheers loudly] Brennan: From the bottom of my heart, I am earnestly just excited that I got into a The Adventure Zone live show. That‘s where I'm at. Justin: Welcome. Audience: [cheers] Brennan: This rules. This fully rules, and I'm having the time of my life. Justin: This is a bad idea. It‘s hitting me now. We've never played this. Griffin: Not once. Travis: No one has. Justin: No one has. Travis: No one has ever played this. Justin: No one ever has ever played The Dadlands, a Justin McElroy original concept. I think we can all remember that I was the one who came up with the name first, and then… Audience: [cheers] Justin: Thank you. It‘s very kind. Clint: Did you really? Justin: I did. It‘s been kickin‘ in my head. For a while, I thought it was gonna be my YA series. My million-selling YA series. But no, no dice on that front. It‘s turned into a… well, this. Whatever this is. Griffin: Whatever this is going to be. Justin: Going to be. It‘s nothing now. No one‘s ever played it before. [laughs] Travis: And I'm sure we don‘t need to go over the rules. I'm sure you all already know the Dadlands rules backwards and forwards. Clint: Well, it might be nice to tell some of us a little bit about the game… Audience: [laughs] Clint: I mean, I'm just sayin‘. Griffin: You were there at the game‘s inception, and you still didn‘t learn how to play. Travis: There is only possibly three people on earth who know more about the game than you do. Griffin: Yeah. Justin: Yeah. In the power rankings, you are still very high of people on earth. Travis: So basically, here‘s how the game works. Real quick. Justin: No. Travis: What? Justin: I thought we were gonna talk about it later when we did the… Travis: I'm just doing the concept. Justin: Roleplay acting. Yes. Okay, the concept of The Dadlands. Travis: Yes. So, we all have fanny packs. Griffin: It‘s true. Audience: [cheers] Travis: And in these fanny packs, we have green and red chips to represent, uh… this is— Griffin: Law. Travis: Law. And this is chaos. Clint: Order. Travis: Chaos and law. And when we make a move that has anything to do with chaos and law, we reach into our fanny packs and try to draw the corresponding chips. Audience: [laughs] Travis: You'll find out the rest as we go, but that‘s the basic game mechanic. Justin: Of The Dadlands. Travis: Of The Dadlands. Clint: Oh, I remember that now. Griffin: Yes. Justin: Yes. Brennan, whenever you're ready… Griffin: Start weaving your tapestry. Brennan: [clears throat dramatically] Very well. Uh, without further ado, I invite all of you… to envision… a land. [speaking in a deep, dramatic tone] Blasted by the scorching sun. Tall rocks burn with the ash of a forgotten age. Long ago, a hundred, hundred years past… Clint: Now, we don‘t— Griffin: Is that—is that two hundred years, or… Audience: [laughs] Justin: [laughs] Travis: Or is that like a hundred squared? Justin: Like ten thousand? Clint: And we don‘t really do voice work, Brennan… Audience: [laughs] Justin: Okay. Sorry. Griffin: No, I'm into it. Justin: Resume your—resume your tapestry. Travis: Yes, please. Continue weaving. Brennan: Alright. [keeps speaking in a deep tone] Continuing to weave. Rising from the bleached-white bones of the forsaken earth, a screen rises to the top of the sky. Miles tall, piercing the veil of clouds above… the plasma screen! Hwaaah! Audience: [cheers] Brennan: A television so large and powerful that, to climb its dizzying heights, to press the power button, invites… only death! Audience: [laughing] Travis: Mm-hmm. Justin: Okay. Travis: Yes. Clint: Death. Big screen. Death. Brennan: Hidden in the valley between the massive, towering screen and the sofa mountains across the valley… we see— Travis: Griffin can't laugh or smile! Griffin: I can't laugh or smile! Travis: If he laughs or smiles, his mustache will fall off, and I just watched him like, have to fully zen out to keep his facial hair on. To be fair, the same thing is true of me. Audience: [laughs] Brennan: Uh… Between the sofa mountains and the massive, towering screen, we see, etched into the valley floor, ancient runes, written by the primeval dads of long ago. They say that when these dads crafted the runes, there were still some that had seen or known the mythical mothers, or even… the children spoken of in lore. But these are condemned now as madmen and fools! Audience: [laughs] Griffin: Oh my god. Clint: Come on. Stay on there, mustache. Audience: [laughing] Brennan: Word had spread throughout the Dadlands… a conclave has been called. And the dad tribes now journey to meet once more, to face a threat… to the Dadlands themselves. We begin with the rising smoke of a journeying tribe of dads. From ancient grill cars, sucking in charcoal briquettes, we see rising fumes of… what is that, ribs? That could be ribs? Audience: [laughing] Griffin: It‘s—it‘s ribs. Travis: Griffin, this look is really working for you. Griffin: Thank you. Brennan: The hot desert, heated even more by the fires of their grill wagons, the Grill Dads make their way to the conclave. Griffin, please introduce your character for us. Griffin: [in a deep southern accent] Uh, my name is… Audience: [cheers] Griffin: Thank you. My name—my name is Briquette Hoggins. Audience: [laughing and cheering] Briquette: You may know me as the owner and proprietor of the Waco Wastelands, number one rated rib joint on Future Yelp. It‘s Hoggins‘ Sloppy Doggone Hog Spot. I'm one of a handful of grill masters that know how to cook the forbidden meats. Justin: [laughing] Brennan: Indeed. Clint: [laughs] Brennan: Briquette, under your arm, you carry the scrolls of the forbidden meats. Briquette: They're very flammable. It‘s a whole thing. I've just breathed in one of the mustache hairs, and I'm in hell. Clint: [laughs] Audience: [laughing] Clint: But you stayed in character. Justin: Love that. Brennan: Walking through… walking through the gray, ashen hills that separate the conclave from the Amazement Park come, carrying one of those uh, brightly colored blue ropes that they tie children to – y'know, the field trip ropes? A line, stretching to the horizon, of Vacation Dads, walk. Justin, please introduce your character. Justin: [in a goofy, southern accent] Well, my name‘s Chip Hugginsby. Audience: [cheers] Chip: My name‘s Chip Hugginsby. I've been lookin‘ forward to this trip all year. And I'll be goddamned if anybody‘s gonna ruin it for me! Audience: [laughing and cheering] Brennan: The Vacation Dads step in line as they march to the conclave, their war paint of zinc and sunscreen blotted across their faces. A whistle blows in the horizon from the cracked earth to the wastes to the south. ―Ten-hut!‖ Shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo! A marching rank and file of Sports Dad charges in formation across the cracked earth. Their visors and hats low to protect their eyes, their aviators enormous, their knee-high crew socks thick and white as the salt earth! Audience: [cheering] Briquette: I… I can't see what‘s happenin‘ on that side of the table, but I'm pretty sure I hate it. Audience: [laughs] Brennan: Uh, Clint, please introduce your character. Clint: [in a gruff voice] I'm coach Red Ruffinsore! Audience: [cheers] Red: I'm that dad that uh, every time their kid got onto a team, he signed up as the assistant coach, even though he doesn‘t have an iota of athletic ability within his very body. Which is very autobiographical for me. Griffin: Yes. Audience: [laughs] Griffin: Dad‘s wearing a hat for the high school that you attended, so this is all very, very hard for us to separate. Brennan: [laughs] Uh… And, as the sun reaches its zenith in the sky, the roar of incredible Hemis, engines, stretching beyond the edges of the car‘s hood, the roar of gasoline being sucked into the engines of these cars, the convoy races, and the Car Dads approach. Audience: [cheers] Brennan: Travis, please describe your character. Travis: I'm Guy Ferrari! Audience: [screams] Guy: I can fix a car with van parts or a van with car parts, or… I don't know, maybe a scooter? I'm gonna try a scooter one day! Uh, I have one of the higher parking spots in the parking garage where the car dads live. I'm pretty high up there. Brennan: [laughs] Audience: [cheers] Brennan: As the tribes of dads arrive at the conclave, you see, waiting for you, the tribe that has called this conclave: the Drama Dads.

  • Song & Music in the Movement
    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • Imani, Who Are Already Munching Away
    This book is dedicated to all the young people who must meld and merge, synthesize and harmonize, to create family fusion. CHAPTER 1 PLUNK. Plink. Ripple. Rumble. Tinkle. Twinkle. Boomble. I know that’s not an actual word, but it’s a real sound. I can create any musical combination of sounds on my piano. That’s my superpower. I sit, hands perched with thirsty fingers, as I get ready to play. I work hard at it, always trying to find the right melodies and harmonies. The upstairs-downstairs scales that rise and fall. The three- and four-finger chords that stomp. The fingernail-delicate tiptoeing up and down the keyboard, each touch a new sound. White keys. Black keys. One at a time. Chords all together. Two keys make a different sound than three played together. Four or five mashed at the same time is even better. I can do nine keys, even ten, to make a chord, but to be honest, that sounds weird. Each combination at the piano is different. Bass. Treble. Major tones. Minor wails. Bass like a celebration. Treble like tears. Five-four-three-two-one. One-two-three-four-five. Up. Up. Up. Down. Down. Down. Harmony. Melody. Chords. Scales. The black keys play sad sounds, like somebody crying. The white keys sometimes laugh. Using only my fingers, I can make the black and white keys dance together and do whatever I want. When I play the piano, I rock! It would be nice if the rest of my life came together like some kind of a magical musical symphony.
